Camrose Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Camrose specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging healthcare training with a focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for issues ranging from basic afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the expertise vital to perform surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet usually experience.
